I have a Motorola Edge 30 5G Dual SIM (128GB) smartphone for sale. Running stock Android but can be flashed with the latest version of LineageOS if you want to go off grid. Works well but has a bit of wear and tear. Yours for $200 posted! DM me if you're keen.

In any other context, what would we think about some unseen stranger eavesdropping on kids’ conversations to see what they’re talking about?
I missed that Communications Minister Anika Wells said that kids talking on social media about plans to get around the teen ban will be picked up by the platforms as a signal that they are under 16.

NEW: What could we have instead of Australia's teen social media ban?
A lot of the debate on the ban has framed it as ban vs nothing. But there's plenty of options for improving online safety for young people.

Optimus will overturn the fundamentals of economics to an extent that we may not even need money in the future, Musk says, and yet he still recommends people "hold onto your Tesla stock," which seems like a kind of mixed message.

Optimus robots will just kinda follow criminals around and make sure they don't commit crimes again, so we can eliminate prisons.
These are all things Elon Musk is literally saying.

what shines through, to me, is that while landlords overwhelmingly see themselves as "providing an essential service" they avoid accountability for the obligations that kind of service provision requires. they want a pat on the back for doing a ~good deed~ without the work or responsibility
